“Archangels” for eight cellos. It begins with several of the cellos playing a scratchy, jumpy rhythmic riff; their lines hovering above, other instruments slide around, making spectral sounds. The music evolves into thick, shifting clouds, like celestial wailing. A second movement seems like a cosmic dance in which a four-squared pulse is constantly broken up by syncopations.

In “Madrigal,” Mr. Riley draws freely from a text by the poet Steve Kowit. The words are sung in prolonged, overlapping phrases, starting with: “Although you may not believe it will happen, you, too, will one day be gone.” Mr. Riley takes syllables and tweaks them into repetitive phonetic sounds, like “ha-ha” and such. As a pioneer of Minimalism, Mr. Riley is often thought of primarily for his rhythmic innovations. “Madrigal” is a reminder of his acute ear for spacious, modal-tinged, haunting harmony. Brad Wells conducted the superb Roomful of Teeth singers in a plush, enveloping performance with, when called for, precisely focused execution of Mr. Riley’s piercing, sustained harmonies.

The program ended with the eight singers joining the eight cellists for Mr. Riley’s “Remember This, O Mind,” a 1997 work performed here in a new arrangement by Toon Vandevorst, also conducted by Mr. Wells. This 25-minute score, which draws from the Bengali religious text “The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna,” builds to an exuberant final section in which spans of cosmic choral writing float above percolating, ominous, cellos.
